Thank you for your question, Corrine. There are (at least) two fungal diseases which infect susceptible plants such as boxwood (Buxus). You can read about them here: Pachysandra-Box Blight | Pacific Northwest Pest Management Handbooks (pnwhandbooks.org)
and Boxwood (Buxus spp.)-Leaf Spots | Pacific Northwest Pest Management Handbooks (pnwhandbooks.org)
Unfortunately, I am unable to distinguish them on the basis of your photos. I suggest you contact the OSU Plant Disease Clinic to submit a sample, and request recommendations, which they can do for a modest fee. This webpage has information on contacting them, submitting samples, and the fee schedule. | College of Agricultural Sciences | Oregon State University
I hope this is helpful. Good luck!
